f85 station wagon parts interchange

I have a newly purchased 67 f85 deluxe station wagon. it has the 330 v8 with power steering and power brakes. i was wanting to do a front disc conversion to it. do the suspension and brake parts interchage with the non wagon versions. ive been searching around. not much specifically listed for the f85 wagons.. i have several 62-70 buicks and lots of the parts seem like they are the gm a body style. New to oldsmobile. thanks for the help

Yes. Fronts are the same.
Rears may vary. Maybe I say. All you need do is measure the WIDTH of the rear shoes, cars have 2" wide shoes on the rear, some wagons have 2.5" width on the rear (Which is the same shoe as the fronts are, same width, 2.5", same part number)
I have had a 66 f85 wagon, and 2 Buick Sport Wagons. I didn't do rear brakes on the Olds, but did do both Buicks rear, they both had 2.5" on rear same as front.


So back to front disc conversions, cars and wagons use same parts.

Flattop wagons are the same as any other A-body in both the front spindles and rear brakes (9.5" x 2"). Only the Vista Cruiser and Buick Sportwagon used the 9.5 x 2.5 rear brakes.
